The couple are said to be close to agreeing an $8 million settlement prior to their divorce and domestic violence case, but there is said to contention over Heard’s request for the pair to issue a joint statement about their explosive row that allegedly spelled the end of their marriage.

But TMZ says that Depp’s lawyers have since told Amber’s team that the Hollywood superstar will never admit to throwing an iPhone at his estranged wife’s face, because it never happened.

30-year-old Heard is said to have demanded a ‘phenomenal’ amount of money in her divorce settlement, but would only be entitled to half the earnings left after tax and living expenses during the couple’s 15 month marriage if this isn’t agreed.

It’s also been claimed that Johnny cut off his fingertip in a fit of rage after the couple had a huge row at a villa in Australia in March 2015 while he was filming Pirates Of The Caribbean.

He allegedly cut his finger on a broken bottle, before dipping it in a pot of paint and using it to write words including ‘Billy Bob’ and ‘Easy Amber’ after accusing her of sleeping with Billy Bob Thornton.

Representatives for both Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have been contacted for comment.
